  • Keeping automated infrastructure up-to-date as dependent technologies evolve and scale (JEE application servers, JDK, RDBMS)
  • Automating every aspect of our development lifecycle and help us in our mission to achieve continuous delivery
  • Creating new tools to increase departmental visibility into product quality, performance and releasability
  • Being the advocate of the adoption of DevSecOps culture and mindset
